Huge Chip Leader Emerges

We were scouring the room for big chips stacks when we saw a huge hand take place. We didn't catch all the details, but we do know the money got in on a {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, and when we say money we're talking a pot worth 110,000!

Volpe: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

Neither the {9-Spades} turn nor the {4-Diamonds} river changed a thing and Volpe took down the gigantic pot. While the other big stacks are somewhere between 40,000-60,000, Volpe is out in front with an astounding 115,000!
